Vinh is South Australian born, of Vietnamese / Chinese descent. His parents arrived in Australia as refugees on the 31st of March 1981, with nothing more than the clothes on their backs and have worked tirelessly to create the lifestyle they live today. Since a very young age, Vinh has studied and performed the art of magic. Starting off as the stereotypical quiet Asian child that kept to his close group of friends, Vinh has experienced an amazing transformation over the years through the performance of magic.

His love for not only the art, but what magic has done for himself, opened his eyes to the potential of what it could do for others. His drive is so strong that it has lead to forgoing a career in accounting to pursue his dreams. Specialising in close-up magic, Vinh is the co-founder of online business Encyclopedia of Magic.

Over the course of 18 months, Vinh has taught magic to over 18,000 people all over the world, and the Encyclopedia of Magic has received over 3 million YouTube views.

Everything is changing. All the traditional industries we grew up with – media, communication, finance, professional services and retail – are all in the process of being turned upside down and re-invented. The force behind this revolution is not technology but rather consumer behaviour. After all, as interesting as it is when things change, the real magic happens when people do.
